For seven years I played in popduo BAUER, an electronic/melodical band from Amsterdam, with Berend Dubbe. Since 1999 we released 4 albums and won a Silver Harp.
After our last orchestral album "The Bauer Melody of 2006" we have taken a break and I started a solo career under my own name. I wrote the soundtrack for a couple of short movies and travelled numerous times to San Francisco and New York where I played with local musicians. Those musical influences are reflected in the songs I wrote over the past years, resulting in my first solo album called WINTERLAND.

The album is named after the movie WINTERLAND by artist/director Dick Tuinder. I wrote the soundtrack including the title song and 3 more popsongs I also wrote most of the instrumental score. The arrangements I wrote were beautifully orchestrated by Martin Fondse.

My live band contains some talented musicians: Mark van den Driest (Drums & percussion), Rik Hansen / Gert-Jan Blom (Bass), Annie Tangberg (Cello & Banjo) and Hanna Vink (Backing Vocals, Banjo, Guitar, Mellotron Sounds & Melodica). I sing and play on my beloved Wurlitzer Piano 200A.
